jscript.dll & vbscript.dll Will Not Stay Registered

By lab99a ·
Windows 8 Pro 64Bit - I tried to open an avi file by clicking on it and instead of the video playing I got a server execution failed error. I did research on the error and found it was related to jscript.dll and vbscript.dll not being registered. I opened an admin command prompt and re-registered the dll files regsvr32 dll name. This fixed the problem and media files started playing as before. Shortly afterwards I rebooted the computer, tried to play a media file and got the server execution error again. I registered the 2 dll's again and everything was fine. Problem is, every time I reboot the machine, something is unregistering these 2 dll files.

I've ran virus and malware scanners and my system is clean so that's not the cause. I am not really sure when this problem started but I was able to play media files in WMP a week or 2 or 3 ago, and is has been a while since I have installed any new software other than updates to existing programs.

Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

Try reposting this in the 'Q&A' forum. The 'Discussion' forum is for matters of general discussion, not specific problems in search of a solution. The 'Water Cooler' is for non-technical discussions. You can submit a question to 'Q&A' here:

There are TR members who specifically seek out problems in need of a solution. Although there is some overlap between the forums, you'll find more of those members in 'Q&A' than in 'Discussions' or 'Water Cooler'.

Be sure to use the voting buttons to provide your feedback. Voting a '+' does not necessarily mean that a given response contained the complete solution to your problem, but that it served to guide you toward it. This is intended to serve as an aid to those who may in the future have a problem similar to yours. If they have a ready source of reference available, perhaps won't need to repeat questions previously asked and answered. If a post did contain the solution to your problem, you can also close the question by marking the helpful post as "The Answer". .
